Question
Can topical medication be used for leg hemorrhagic spots in pediatric allergic purpura patients?
Answer
Hello, if a child with allergic purpura has leg hemorrhagic spots and severe itching, topical medication can be used to alleviate discomfort. However, oral medication treatment is still necessary and should not be overlooked. Please take the child to a regular hospital dermatology department for re-examination and have another urine routine check to prevent complications of nephritis associated with purpura. In daily life, try to avoid contact with allergens such as cold air, paint, oil smoke, and animal fur. Additionally, reduce the intake of foods that may cause allergies, such as pineapples, mangoes, seafood, and spicy and irritating foods. Wishing the child a speedy recovery!
